Preparations

Inside the room, the shrunken Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was exceptionally beautiful, its presence creating a striking contrast with the red wooden pavilion's style.

Even without looking at its head, one could see some of the spiritual essence of the White Jade True Dragon.

But looking at his mouth, his aura was diminished. His mouth was still wide open, as if he was still not full, and he kept sending telepathic messages to Ye Jingcheng, asking if it could grow bigger.

It's edible!

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also noticed that the Jade-Scale Snake was shrinking, which seemed to be consuming a great deal of water-elemental spiritual power.

He couldn't sense the Crimson Flame Fox shrinking, since the latter's shrinkage wasn't significant, but the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was now exceptionally clear.

"You can only grow bigger after you leave the room or go to the Spirit Beast pouch," Ye Jingcheng said.

Although it consumes some Spiritual Qi, it is still a way to train the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, just like the Crimson Flame Fox uses flames to refine elixirs.

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon nodded in a very human-like manner. At this moment, it could fly completely in the air, even without any fog or water vapor in the air.

They can already parade through the air.

Ye Jingcheng was now somewhat looking forward to seeing if his Mist Escape Technique had improved.

His Mist Escape Technique relies on the water-elemental spiritual power of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon. If he can further improve his Mist Escape Technique by heading to the Taihang Mountain Range and the second-tier secret realm, his chances of victory will increase even further.

However, since there was no fog and the room wasn't large, he didn't test it.

Of course, at this moment, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon wanted to demonstrate its strength, so it circled around Ye Jingcheng.

But Ye Jingcheng waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that this courtyard was not suitable for the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon to continue its display at this moment.

After all, this is the property of the Taiyi Sect, and if it is really damaged, the Ye Family will still have to pay compensation.

Judging from the speed and sharpness of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Blade, it is estimated that even ordinary cultivators with defensive Law Artifact would be in grave danger if the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon got close.

Not to mention this house, which relies entirely on Array.

"Roar!" The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon continued to roar, seemingly unaccustomed to it.

When it was Jade-Scale Snake, it could hiss at any time.

This allows it to smell the delicious aromas in the air, which will make it feel very happy.

But at this moment, it all turned into low growls, muffled and hoarse.

Only after calling out the name so many times could one sense a hint of authority emerging from it.

Through the Soul Pact, Ye Jingcheng knew that the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon wanted to devour it whole, and five Azure Cloud Wolves were not enough to satisfy it.

However, it only tried to show off when Ye Jingcheng fed it twice in one day.

After all, if the Crimson Flame Fox feeds the fox and then helps with alchemy, it gets to eat twice.

"You may demonstrate if you wish, but there's no need to damage the house. Just use your current form to perform other techniques." Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded and allowed the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon to demonstrate.

Upon seeing this, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon roared excitedly. It vigorously moved its claws, and with each claw, it seemed as if the mist in the void began to turn into water.

However, the mist in the room was too thin, so the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon began to spew poisonous mist again.

The only difference is that the poisonous fog was black before, but now it has turned white.

But Ye Jingcheng discovered that this white toxin was in no way inferior to the black poisonous fog.

On the contrary, it was even more corrosive, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's new claws stepped on the poisonous mist, making it countless times faster.

In the fog, only the escaping light could be seen. Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense could detect it, but he found that he couldn't catch up even if he rode a horse in this fog.

Moreover, under the claws of the dragon, the white mist transformed into two poisonous mist dragons.

"That's enough!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, took out an Azure Cloud Wolf corpse, and then took out two second-tier Water Attribute spirit pills for the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon to consume.

He estimated that with less Spiritual Qi, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon would keep wanting to eat, and the flesh and blood of the Azure Cloud Wolf, which had low Spiritual Qi, would probably be worth more than a single second-tier spiritual pill even if he ate dozens of them.

Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was finally satisfied after consuming the elixir and the wolf corpse.

Its lively vertical eyes also began to calm down. Ye Jingcheng put the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon into his Spirit Beast bag, and only then did the whole room return to peace.

It was just as chaotic as before.

Ye Jingcheng used several Law Techniques to cleanse the area first, and then restored it to its original position within a few breaths.

Therefore, he no longer needed to stay in a smaller room.

After finishing with the room, Ye Jingcheng went out of the courtyard again. However, while collecting the Array, he discovered that the outermost warning Array had just been activated.

This also means that Divine Sense had just landed on the outermost warning Array of him.

The Array seemed to have startled away those who were spying.

Even so, it made Ye Jingcheng more cautious. He put away the Golden-Scaled Beast in the room and looked at the Jade Ring Rat in the corner.

Those enormous Jade Ring ears still looked very big and full.

However, when faced with Ye Jingcheng's questioning gaze, the latter shook his head.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh; the Jade Ring Rat was indeed somewhat outdated.

It's only equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Refining in a cultivator. Its hearing is probably only able to detect first-level cultivators. It can't detect second-level cultivators or second-level Spirit Beast.

This was only because the Treasure Book had bestowed upon it a great deal of Treasure Radiance, and Ye Jingcheng had fed it a lot of elixirs.

He sighed, but didn't say anything more.

Instead, he walked to the side and began to put away the Peachwood Demon's true form.

Since we're going to the second-tier secret realm, we should naturally bring the Peachwood Demon along.

The latter's sucker-like tree roots are equally powerful, and most importantly, this Wood Demon's Spirit Root can even destroy Array.

The fact that it could even destroy Blood Pact shows that it is no ordinary being.

If it encounters a forbidden formation, it might even have some surprising effects.

After putting away the Wood Demon, he did not completely remove the Array in the courtyard. Instead, he remained vigilant and even planted many Poison Thorn Flower seeds to ensure that there were still Spirit Plant absorbing wood spiritual energy.

After finishing all this, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room and began to focus on mastering the Mist Escape Technique and the Profound Cold Ice Shield Secret Method.

Under his examination, he discovered that the spiritual power he had received from the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Beast Communion seemed to have been sublimated. If he were in the fog or rain, he estimated that his speed would not be slower than that of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Meanwhile, the Profound Cold Ice Shield had condensed into a thick layer, which might be comparable to a mid-grade second-tier shield at a critical moment.

Three more days passed in Ye Jingcheng's routine and testing.

On this day, Ye Jingcheng finally saw Ye Xingliu arrive. This time, Ye Xingliu brought many cultivators with him, including Ye Jingyu. Clearly, the Ye Family planned to go directly from Taichang Market to the sect.

At the same time, if the members of the Heavenly Corpse Sect were to be switched, it would be best to do so beforehand during this period.

Furthermore, they needed to confirm this beforehand; otherwise, if the Ye Family were discovered by the Taiyi Sect, it would be considered treason.

Basic checks are still necessary.

"Third Uncle, you must be tired from your journey." Ye Jingcheng invited Ye Xingliu, Ye Jingyu, and the others into the courtyard.

This time, there were more than 30 clansmen who came, most of whom were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Among them were Ye Jingli Ye Jingyong, whom Ye Jingcheng was familiar with, as well as Ye Xingqun.

However, at this moment, what we are most looking forward to is Ye Xingliu's spirit ore. The nature of the Stone Spirit will soon be revealed.
